DECISION AND ORDER

This habeas corpus case is before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion for further postpleading proceedings (Doc. No. 11). Of the requests she makes, Petitioner has already received
reference of the case to a Magistrate Judge which is automatic in the Southern District of Ohio.
She has not made the required showing of good cause for discovery, nor has she proffered facts
to be shown at an evidentiary hearing which would satisfy the requirements of 28 U.S.C. §
2254(e)(2) and decided Cullen v. Pinholster, 563 U.S. ___, 131 S.Ct. 1388 (2011). The records
of prior proceedings have been filed with the Return of Writ and Petitioner has not offered any
material which she suggests should be added as an expansion of the record, nor has she advised
the Court of any experts she desires to employ.

Accordingly, the Motion is DENIED except to the extent the relief requested therein has
already been granted.
June 15, 2012.
